WEBVTT

00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:09.040
welcome back to buy your mom an iPad I'm

00:00:05.240 --> 00:00:11.960
Riley murdog and this is the iPad 11th

00:00:09.040 --> 00:00:14.920
gen they've made 11 of these things and they' made them so many times they're

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:18.760
just like you know what let's just make it look the exact same let's just change

00:00:16.840 --> 00:00:26.279
the inside now you may have noticed that recently we unboxed the iPad Air M3 and

00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:30.720
you might be looking at that and looking at this and saying to yourself that is

00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:34.920
the that looks like the exact they look that looks the same not only does this

00:00:32.599 --> 00:00:42.039
look similar to the to its direct predecessor the iPad 10th gen but it

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:47.399
looks almost the exact same as the iPad

00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:51.079
Air M3 which came out alongside

00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:55.680
this just to show you here's that M3

00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:57.680
iPad Air they uh that's uh that's the

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:02.239
same that's the same iPad I guess they're thinking that like you know

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:06.159
iPads are basically just so good now that we basically just have to use this

00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:09.240
this is a good body why fix what ain't broke you know what I mean wait a second

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:13.759
you might be thinking if there're the exact same body pretty much maybe it's

00:01:11.080 --> 00:01:19.200
compatible with the magic keyboard attachment for the iPad Air but actually

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:24.960
no the magnets are not in the right spot and also it doesn't have the Pogo pins

00:01:21.479 --> 00:01:27.640
that connect but cuz so I guess

00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:32.240
not however it is compatible with its own magic keyboard folio attachment but

00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:36.240
before we talk more about this actual iPad let's see what's in the box here we

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:38.920
got the standard paperwork doesn't come with stickers

00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:47.200
anymore we've got a 20 W charger and

00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:51.759
we've got the USBC cable here nice and sleeved which I discovered in the other

00:01:49.240 --> 00:01:55.600
video is about 1 M long okay before I get distracted by any other tangents

00:01:53.399 --> 00:02:02.159
let's take a quick look at the outside of this thing which as far as I can tell

00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:04.680
is pretty much identical to the iPad

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:10.000
10th gen the predecessor here so let's look at them both together on this side

00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:12.720
we've got the volume up and down buttons

00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:17.879
on the top we've got those Touch ID power buttons the two speaker grills

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:23.000
only one of which actually has speakers in them on this side we've got those

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:26.920
Pogo pins so they do have you know they do work with their own accessories just

00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:32.560
not the other ones use the right accessories the ones that Apple tells

00:02:28.640 --> 00:02:36.280
you to use okay on the bottom we've got

00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:40.360
the another two speaker grills and USBC

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:43.640
now unlike in the higher end iPads this

00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:47.480
USBC Port only supports USB 2 speeds up

00:02:43.640 --> 00:02:49.440
to 480 megabit per second Max so just be

00:02:47.480 --> 00:02:55.000
aware that's what you're getting with the base model iPad and yeah as we can

00:02:52.360 --> 00:03:01.879
see like the design EX on the exterior is very very similar for these one is a

00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:07.360
different color though so note that but the 11th gen does come in the

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:12.480
same colors as the iPad 10th gen they have kind of more colorful colors as

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:18.200
opposed to kind of the more muted options for the iPad Air and iPad Pro

00:03:15.239 --> 00:03:23.400
because when you are when you have less money you're allowed to have fun with it

00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.959
because otherwise You' just be sad uh

00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:31.080
there are some differences between these iPads though which we'll be able to see when we turn them on and oh look at that

00:03:28.519 --> 00:03:33.920
it's a word from our sponsor paperlike if you thought that nothing could

00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:38.360
replace that Sketchbook that you carry around with you think again transform

00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:43.599
your iPad into the ultimate writing and drawing companion with paper like 2.1 a

00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:48.319
uniquely designed screen protector that uses proprietary micro bead technology

00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:52.280
called Nano dots to emulate the stroke resistance of real paper it lets display

00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:56.599
light shine around and through the screen protector with minimal refraction

00:03:54.720 --> 00:04:01.040
so you get optimal picture quality and little to no glare they even have 100

00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:04.640
day satisfaction guarantee so if you're not completely satisfied or messed up

00:04:02.959 --> 00:04:08.400
while putting it on you can get a free replacement or refund pick up a paper

00:04:06.920 --> 00:04:15.959
light today at the link down in the description now the obvious difference between these two iPads is that the iPad

00:04:12.079 --> 00:04:19.359
10th gen runs the A14 chip and the iPad

00:04:15.959 --> 00:04:22.680
11th gen has been upgraded to the Apple

00:04:19.359 --> 00:04:26.000
A6 processor which is the same one found

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:27.600
in the iPhone 15 lineup although there

00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:32.039
some of them have the bionic chip but this is the a16 non Bionic so that's

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:38.160
obviously going to give us a performance upgrade uh hopefully Labs will tell us

00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:40.600
uh about that in a minute but Apple also

00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:45.680
says that you know they're they're the same Hardware wise except for this

00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:54.360
screen they say that the iPad 10th gen has a 10.9 in screen and the iPad 11th

00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:57.080
gen has a 11in screen the same screen

00:04:54.360 --> 00:05:01.080
size as the iPad Air 11 in cuz there's also a

00:04:57.960 --> 00:05:03.960
13in but I am trying for the life of me

00:05:01.080 --> 00:05:10.360
to see any kind of difference here and the bezels look the same the size of the

00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:11.639
actual body is oh nope it's the same I

00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:15.080
thought for a second I was tripping but nope it's the exact same what are we

00:05:13.880 --> 00:05:20.560
what are we talking about what are we smoking here Apple in terms of the

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:23.039
displays being .1 in different there's

00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:26.680
the difference in chips giving an upgrade we're going to look at our

00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:30.240
Benchmark data from Labs in a second but the more interesting thing to me is the

00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:37.080
fact that apple has dropped the price again for the base

00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:39.400
model iPad they upped the price to 450

00:05:37.080 --> 00:05:46.120
bucks for the iPad 10th gen for the 11th gen they've dropped the

00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:49.880
price back down to 350 bucks and doubled

00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:55.160
the starting storage from 64 gigs to 128

00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:57.960
gigs so as I said in the iPad Air M3

00:05:55.160 --> 00:06:02.520
video you know I give Apple a lot of crap over on TechLink for their whole

00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:08.199
ecosystem thing antitrust you know they're fighting against regulation

00:06:05.479 --> 00:06:13.960
trying to keep their closed garden stuff going on W Garden but when it comes to

00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:17.639
their budget low tier products they're

00:06:13.960 --> 00:06:19.199
doing some okay stuff Kudos again all

00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:24.120
right let's look at the performance numbers so like I said this has the

00:06:21.039 --> 00:06:28.000
Apple a16 in it it actually has one

00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:31.880
fewer CPU core than the A14 which had

00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:35.000
six cores this thing has a five core CPU

00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:37.360
but it has six gigs of memory to the

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:43.280
iPad 10th gen's 4 gigs of memory so we got two more gigs of memory one fewer

00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:45.560
CPU core but despite that we're getting

00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:50.639
better performance here than on the A14 in geekbench single and multi-core we

00:06:47.479 --> 00:06:53.599
got 22 and 23% better respectively and

00:06:50.639 --> 00:07:01.199
there actually wasn't enough RAM to run our normal 3D Mark steel Nomad light uh

00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:04.039
GPU test so Labs ran Bay instead and we

00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:11.240
saw a 22% performance boost there as well more GPU power more fun in our 3D

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:17.919
Mark Wildlife extreme stress test we got a 25% increase in performance and one

00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:21.120
interesting note is that the abased uh

00:07:17.919 --> 00:07:23.639
Apple chips seem to throttle less than

00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:27.599
the M series chips in the iPads and maybe that's because there's just less

00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:32.960
power going on in in general but one thing for your mom to note

00:07:30.840 --> 00:07:39.680
and for our battery life test we got about the same amount of battery life

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:42.360
for both iPads A14 and a16 versions got

00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:47.280
around 9 hours all right but numbers are one thing what is it like to use I mean

00:07:44.919 --> 00:07:52.240
you know this is kind of the question every time you you start looking at the

00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:57.000
mid to low tier iPads as opposed to like the iPad Pro the iPad Pro exists as this

00:07:54.639 --> 00:08:00.000
kind of Showcase of all of the most advanced stuff that Apple can fit into a

00:07:58.960 --> 00:08:04.479
tablet and here it's more about like what's the

00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:08.520
bare minimum we can do without getting complaints from people turns out the

00:08:06.400 --> 00:08:16.570
bare minimum is still actually really good I mean like I'll show you I'll show

00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:24.199
you it's good you know like it's it's

00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:30.240
this is a $350 tablet it's the base model iPad things look nice and sharp

00:08:27.720 --> 00:08:36.080
the speakers sound pretty good you know like actually I want to compare them

00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:36.080
directly to the air M3

00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:41.719
speakers okay I think is that louder I don't even

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:48.220
know they sound a bit

00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:57.160
different okay so the iPad Air M3 speakers have a

00:08:55.680 --> 00:09:01.820
little bit more body to them there's a little bit more base to them these sound

00:08:58.880 --> 00:09:04.399
like I tiny little bit more

00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:11.160
tiny and I'm and I'm hearing like a little bit of distortion at that at a

00:09:09.160 --> 00:09:14.880
little bit more Distortion at the max volume than I hear over here both of

00:09:13.040 --> 00:09:21.399
them aren't you know they could be better but again tablets pretty good

00:09:18.959 --> 00:09:24.279
speakers for tablets the fact that I just recently tested this out and we're

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:29.160
like those speakers are pretty good and then I played this one and I was like oh those are pretty good I actually had to

00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:33.839
put them side by side to tell that there was the difference maybe I'm dumb all

00:09:32.760 --> 00:09:39.600
right while I have them right next to each other I will say that the displays

00:09:36.760 --> 00:09:46.440
for both of these iPads the iPad Air M3 and the iPad uh a16 spec-wise are about

00:09:43.640 --> 00:09:52.200
the same uh they're both same resolution LCD 60 HZ

00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:54.040
IPS and they're both rated for 500 nits

00:09:52.200 --> 00:10:00.720
of brightness but our Labs team actually found that the this iPad Air M3 could

00:09:56.760 --> 00:10:04.320
achieve 540 nits uh so I mean kudos to

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:07.560
this guy the 13-in iPad Air M3 can

00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:09.040
actually do 600 nits uh apparently but

00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:14.560
we don't have that one in studio so we can't verify it the other difference

00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:20.040
with the displays is this this one has an anti-reflective coating and this one

00:10:16.760 --> 00:10:22.360
does not which you can see actually when

00:10:20.040 --> 00:10:27.640
we look at one of our studio lights here you can see that the reflection on the

00:10:24.640 --> 00:10:30.279
M3 is a lot darker than the one on the

00:10:27.640 --> 00:10:34.839
the the base model iPad so there you go science so other than that creature

00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:39.079
comfort of the anti-reflective coding I mean you're dealing with a user

00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:43.120
experience here in terms of like you know the display at least that is very

00:10:41.040 --> 00:10:50.120
very similar between this $350 iPad and that $600 iPad Air M3 but

00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:54.920
what about the cameras let's look at that so on paper Apple says that the

00:10:52.600 --> 00:11:00.079
hardware here is pretty much the same as the hardware in the other one so let's

00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:05.760
let's check it out yeah

00:11:02.680 --> 00:11:07.560
okay that is a photo I mean it looks

00:11:05.760 --> 00:11:13.040
pretty good and which is exactly what I said about the other one that's a 12

00:11:10.160 --> 00:11:20.680
megapixel Apple software processed camera what about the selfie

00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:25.399
mode oh that's way better okay you know what I didn't I didn't uh call it out as

00:11:23.320 --> 00:11:30.600
much in the previous video because I it didn't I was just so taken back by how

00:11:27.800 --> 00:11:35.560
insane I looked but the processing seems a little strong on this one I know it's

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:39.720
like just a 12 me megapixel camera but I'm always kind of surprised that the

00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:44.720
processing and the overall quality on selfie cameras seems to be like much

00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:48.160
worse than the C the quality on the back camera I feel like these days most

00:11:46.680 --> 00:11:51.959
people are using their selfie cameras a little bit more than their back cameras

00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:56.320
I don't know I don't know but you know it's fine it's a tablet camera is it

00:11:54.040 --> 00:11:59.959
good for FaceTiming your grandma it's going to be good okay chill I was

00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:06.160
thinking about this whole buy your mom an iPhone thing because a in the last

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:10.040
video I did on the iPad 10th gen I made a big joke about how I was going to buy

00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:15.320
your mom and iPad and don't worry it's already happened you like it's in the

00:12:12.519 --> 00:12:20.920
past forget about it but B uh the whole Tim Cook buy your mom and iPhone thing

00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:24.639
came about because Android and iOS

00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:27.120
didn't support the kind of like uh Rich

00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:31.360
messaging features that were required in order for you to send a high quality

00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:35.839
photos and stuff this guy was saying I can't send my mom you know good photos

00:12:33.800 --> 00:12:41.959
or she can't send them me and Tim Cook in all of his wisdom replied buy your

00:12:39.079 --> 00:12:41.959
mom an

00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:51.000
iPhone but there's another thing where I'm going to give kudos to Apple uh

00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:56.320
they're going to support encryption now even on RCS after they added RCS support

00:12:53.959 --> 00:13:02.320
a while back and now just regular messaging between Android and iOS

00:13:00.079 --> 00:13:06.399
devices is going to be pretty good I'm not actually sure about the whether

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:10.760
that's fixed the like Ultra compressed image problem with the messages but

00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:14.839
maybe the whole buy your mom and iPad buy your mom and iPhone thing is invalid

00:13:12.880 --> 00:13:21.480
at this point so as much as I've criticized Apple in the past for kind of

00:13:19.079 --> 00:13:25.959
inching the iPad closer and closer towards you know like a full computer

00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:34.000
experience only to kind of pull back at the last second uh they seem to be

00:13:30.880 --> 00:13:37.199
earnestly trying to give product options

00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:39.120
to their consumers that make sense in

00:13:37.199 --> 00:13:44.519
terms of price to Performance would it be nice to have an iPad that cost less

00:13:41.199 --> 00:13:47.399
than $350 for sure but them just taking

00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:50.920
the price down by 100 bucks and doubling the storage are things that they should

00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:54.320
have done a while back they shouldn't have never hiked the price to begin with

00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:59.680
but the fact that they're doing it now along with the $600 Mac Mini and you

00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:05.720
know the iPad Air M3 is like more expensive but it's still pretty decent I

00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:07.160
I I I it feels weird for me to say that

00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:12.800
I like what apple is doing in this segment but I do and this right here is

00:14:10.079 --> 00:14:17.800
a midcycle refresh we got basically the same Hardware as before with new

00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:22.279
internals and I'm excited to see what they do when they do a more substantial

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:26.240
upgrade because I want iPads to get weird again let's add features that

00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:32.519
don't belong there at all okay guys let's get wacky Tim let's get wack

00:14:29.839 --> 00:14:36.480
wild and you should go wild on that subscribe button to this channel short

00:14:34.920 --> 00:14:40.880

00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.800
